5th Generation

Philipp Johann Christoph (1904-1971)

Philipp Johann Christoph

took over the firm in 1925. Years of worldwide financial catastrophe lay in the future. With great personal commitment he survived these as well as the following world war. The Second World War destroyed everything that the previous five generations had built. The business acumen of Philipp Johann Christoph, together with the determination of the employees who had survived the war and returned from detention, enabled the firm to swiftly recover its former significance.
